Handmade Blankets...From the Heart...For the Children:

Many wonderful people have taken their time and money to crochet and knit a number of beautiful baby and children size blankets. We would like to be able to send them all overseas to the waiting children, but unfortunately, Customs red tape and the cost of doing so is prohibitive.

So we have come up with a plan! Please help us help the children in the orphanages by purchasing a handmade blanket, for a minimum $20.00 donation (or $25.00, including shipping costs). There are many patterns and colors to choose from. We will take the money from the sale of the blankets and use it to benefit the children in orphanages overseas.

We are also asking for your assistance by donating handmade blankets or yarn. If we have more blankets than we can sell, all unsold blankets will be donated to the local Social Services Department for children in foster care. Please call 518-664-5988 for further information, or stop in our office at 145 North Main Street, Mechanicville, to purchase, or drop off a blanket.

Donated blankets and/or yarn can also be dropped off at our Wilmington, NC location. Please call 910-799-6140 for further information.
